Many Korean words were incorporated from Japanese words. However, I wonder if the opposite is true.

How many Korean words were incorporated into Japanese? Is there any such research, maybe including a list of Korean words imported into Japanese?

    I think with the 韓流 (jp: hanryuu kr: 한류) these sorts of borrowing are becoming much more common, and are often written in katakana (the writing system used for writing "foreign", non-Chinese words among other things). A recent-ish interesting phenomena I've encountered is people using 〜ニダ (from (습)니다) to make fun of Koreans and Korean speech. (Warning! Considered offensive to many...) More benign examples include キムチ and ハニーバター :p

    Until 19th century Korea was a bridge which connects Chinese and Japanese culture. Many of Sino-Korean and Sino-Japanese vocabularies share similar pronunciation. 난민 is なんみん[nanmin], 만족 is まんぞく[manzoku], 기력 is きりょく[kiryoku]. Before Meiji restoration, culture and knowledge were imported from Korea(and actually most of them are imported from China at first) to Japan and from colonial era of Korea, Japan started to export their own culture and linguistic characteristics to Korea.

    During Korea's Three Kingdoms period, Japan did import many cultural elements from Korea (including Buddhism and probably the Chinese characters), but I think the flow of culture dwindled to an insignificant level by the latter half of the Joseon era, if not earlier. By that time Japan started to trade with European countries, while Korea itself remained "the hermit kingdom".

Yes. National Institute of Korean Language (www.korean.go.kr) published the book terms from Japanese in 2005. You can download *.hwp file in above link.

    The question is about Japanese words that came from Korean, not the vice versa.
